Does this mean no more October challenge?
I wonder if discussing times prior to deadline discouraged a lot of people from submitting. I knew I was beat pretty badly, and I was considering not entering. Perhaps for the next one we should have an informal "refrain from posting times before it's over" rule to keep the interest up? Just a thought...
Well, I was going to say these challenges will pick up when they release GT5, but I did a quick check and found this:
"Well, I hate to say I told you so, but…IGN has an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, the game studio's founder and boss. In this interview, Yamauchi tells the world what some of us had suspected: GT5 may well not see the light of day until 2010. In fact, PD is not even focusing on the game right now and is instead working on GT5 Prologue."
Ouch
I think participation is down because of the real challenge. I would participate, but I can't find my copy of GT4 (!!)
No, I think it was the combination of being the first month to try again and really not picking a good challenge (my fault). I'll throw up a $20080 October Challenge tonight.
My only complaint with this challenge was the tight restraint on car selection. It was like a spec race, which isn't really in the spirit of the GRM challenge. Not to mention the FD is a turd in GT4.
Sorry guys, I'll try harder!
